FAQs
Armored cables feature an additional layer of protective armor, enhancing physical durability and resistance to environmental factors. Unarmored cables lack this protective layer, making them lightweight and flexible. The choice between them depends on specific installation requirements, with armored cables suitable for harsher conditions, while unarmored cables excel in controlled environments where flexibility is crucial.
Unarmored optical fiber cables are often employed in controlled environments, such as indoor installations and structured cabling systems. Their flexibility and lightweight design make them suitable for applications where physical protection is not a primary concern, contributing to simplified installations in various indoor settings.
Outdoor unarmored cable is designed for direct burial in outdoor networks. They have rodent-proof and UV protection features, incorporating high-strength FRP rods and glass yarns in an unarmored design. The loose tube, made of thermoplastic material, ensures a lightweight and compact structure. Additionally, these optical fiber cables exhibit excellent water resistance, moisture resistance, and crush resistance performance, making them ideal for various outdoor applications.
